Torco Accelerator

Guys,

Has anybody tried this supposedly Octane enhancer. I read many reviews on many forums about it and the people that actually tried it seem to have positive experience with it. I'm not doubting it in any sort I just want to know a couple of things. This is what I am talking about:

This is the Advertised benefits of the above product:

Torco Unleaded Accelerator

Torco Accelerator will transform the make up of premium pump gas to closely resemble race fuel. Creates greater efficiency…. more horsepower!

So they claim that mixing this 32oz can to five gallons of premium 91 octane gas will raise the octane to 105. Diffrent amount of gallons and diffrent amounts of torrco will result in diffrent octane ratings (maximum achievable is +14 octane rating) according to the list below

Now, the thing I am trying to understand is how the mixing of 5 gallons of 91 octane boosts to 105 with just 32oz of Torco?

5 Gallons corresponds to 639oz

Therefore, we have 639oz of 91 Octane

Torrco 320z is supposed to have a toulene compound which is 115 Octane.

Now how does mixing 32oz of 115 octane with 639oz of 91 premium gas boost the total mixture of 671oz (639+32) to 105?

Again, i'm not doubting, maybe it is something I dont understand. Can someone who knows about fuel ratings and mixtures explain this to me. Thank you

It works. It does not make as much octane as advertised however as there have been some tests but a bottle added to 91 octane produces about 94-95 octane and if you add to 93 it gives you 96 or so. I used it for a few months in my m3 but it completely trashes your plugs. Mine were fluorescent orange and my car got really sluggish. Given that this car uses the plugs to sense ionic current, any residue around the electrodes which this causes really messes with that and my timing was being pulled and retarded by a ton. In other cars that have regular knock sensors it should not be an issue. I personally didn't think its worth it and I spend more and mix Torco full race gas with every tank. I order it by the barrel.

I experimented around with NOS offroad octane booster(with MMT) and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It's by no means racegas in a bottle but it did clear up timing corrections on a map I was experimenting with that was a touch too aggressive. I would normally see 3-4 cylinders pulling 3.xx degrees of timing out at a time but with a bottle mixed into a full tank my logs would be clean as could be. I'm don't know how much more effective Torco Accelerator would be.

Interseting. Thanks for your inputs guys. I will be conducting a lab test for you all and I will publish the results here and to Torco themselves.

I am a Process Engineer At QP refinery in Qatar. Therefore, I have access to request any lab test for fuel quality, deposits scale, and gas composition. Here in Qatar our fuel is rated @ 97 RON, which is equivalent to 92 Octane rating in the USA. I will take 5 gallons of this fuel and add 32Oz of Torco. We have Octane analyzers in Our lab that test RON & MON ratings. According to Torco, Adding 32oz to 5 gallons of 92 Octane fuel will net an octane rating of 106, which is equivalent to 110-111RON. I will provide the following results:

Why don't you mix it with 15 gallons or a typical tank size? Or mix a third of the bottle with 5. More real world data for those that use it. Nobody is going to dump 32 oz in 5 gallons. I guess you could publish the math to extrapolate what octane would be with 16 gallons but I guess I will wait and see. There is someone who has already done the testing on this product though-google around. So if you really want to go for it but someone or a couple good tests are out there measuring the actual octane after mixing it with pump gas and as said above it was good for 4-5 points.

And I can vouch for NOS off-road version with MMT-works but only adds 2 points

I didn't know about the injectors but even more the reason. MMT makes things bright orange with deposit.. I just can't see that being good long-term to have a bright orange internal engine with a bunch of deposits
